Chapter 373

Zhao Pan'er, who runs a tea shop in Qiantang, was shocked to hear that her fiancé, Ouyang Xu, who was a proctor in Xinke, was going to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the dynasty. Unwilling to her fate, she vowed to go to Beijing to seek justice.On the way, she met Gu Qianfan, the commander of the Imperial City Department who came from a wealthy family but was born with integrity, and was involved in a major case in the south of the Yangtze River.By virtue of her wisdom and beauty, Zhao Paner rescued Song Yinzhang, the number one pipa master in the south of the Yangtze River who was deceived into marriage and was mistreated, and Sun Sanniang, a generous cook who was forced to run away from home by her harsh family. Not being expelled from the capital by Ouyang Xu, who is another climber, Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, and Sun Sanniang went through hardships together, and gradually developed the small tea house into the largest restaurant in Tokyo.

【Xiao Qinyan】

Xiao Qinyan was born in a poor family. He was a Jinshi at the age of 24. He was favored by Gu Shuniang, the daughter of Gu Shenyan, the servant of the official department, and entered the Gu family. He has sons Gu Qianfan and Xiao Fan. The eldest son Gu Qianfan takes his mother's surname Gu, and the second son Xiao Fan takes his father's surname Xiao was at odds with each other since he was a child, and his superiority and inferiority were orderly. In the early stage, Xiao Qinyan relied on the power of the Gu family, and his official career was quite smooth. In the later period, because of his desire for power and differences in political ideas, Xiao Qinyan left the Gu family with his youngest son Xiao Fan. As a result, he reconciled with his wife, Gu Shuniang, and Gu Qianfan adopted him as his uncle's son. Talented and well-known in Tokyo, the ignorant child sang in the streets and alleys:
Young master of the Xiao family, grandson of the Gu family.

His surname is Xiao and his name is Fan. He is of noble birth.

He is seven feet tall and eighteen years old.

He doesn't like writing and ink, but uses knives and guns instead.

The horizontal knife immediately, the spear and the sword are both excellent.

A series of information suddenly appeared in Yuan Xudong's mind. He no longer cared about what the blushing Zhao Pan'er was talking about. past.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong who fainted again after shouting, Zhao Pan'er, who was about to prop up the bamboo raft to the shore, was taken aback. She quickly dropped the bamboo used to support the raft, ran to Yuan Xudong and poked him twice with her finger. At the same time, he said with a worried face:

"Deng Tuzi, are you alright?"

"Hope!"

"Sanniang!"

Following the rippling water, the bamboo raft drifted towards the river bank. Seeing Zhao Pan'er standing on the bamboo raft, a woman squatting on the bluestone steps washing clothes by the river bank smiled and said:
"I made a new Luming cake this morning. The sweet-scented osmanthus honey is put in it. It's a good compliment to the toad palace picking osmanthus. Hey, you can try it for me later!"

"You don't need to taste it, but all the fruits you put on my consignment will be robbed within half a day. The tea customers say they like to drink my tea, but in fact, [-]% of them are for your fruits!"

Saying that, Zhao Pan'er supported the bamboo raft to the shore, looked at Sun Sanniang, who had a peach blossom face, and said anxiously:

"San Niang, come and help me quickly. A disciple fell into the water. I rescued him. He may have been caught in the wind and cold. He was unconscious again after waking up for a while. Please help me lift him up." Go to the tea house and ask him a doctor later, okay?"

"Where did the apprentice come from?"

After hearing what Zhao Paner said, Sun Sanniang quickly put down the clothes in her hands, stood up from the bluestone steps, slightly opened her eyes and looked at the bamboo raft that was about to land, and Yuan Xudong, who was lying on the bamboo raft, said excitedly:
"I have lived in Qiantang for nine years, and this is the first time I have seen a Deng Tuzi who fell into the water. Do you want to report it to the authorities?"

"No, I'm just saying that casually!"

Holding the bamboo raft to shore, Zhao Paner quickly jumped up the bluestone steps, looked at Sun Sanniang and said with a smile:
"I don't think he looks like a bad guy. He just talks so rudely. It's better not to report to the officials. Those adults who are officials, San Niang, you don't know that if the family has no family background, they will lose their skin even if they don't die. , I think he is still young, but he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, so he shouldn't be a bad person!"

"You are kind-hearted!"

After casting a blank glance at the gentle and kind Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang leaned over to look at Yuan Xudong who was still lying on the bamboo raft and said with a smile:
"However, good people are rewarded with good rewards. If you hadn't rescued Brother Ouyang who fell into the water three years ago, how would you have the opportunity to wear the phoenix crown and Xiapei today and go to Tokyo to become a Jinshi lady!"

"Sanniang!"

Hearing Sun Sanniang's old story brought up again, Zhao Pan'er was both ashamed and happy, and said with a bright red face:
"Why do you keep talking about Ouyang!"

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er whose face was flushed, Sun Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, then looked at Yuan Xudong with slightly bright eyes and said:

"What a handsome man, it's a pity that he is an apprentice, what a pity!"

"Don't be a pity, let's save people quickly!"

"okay!"

While talking, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang dragged Yuan Xudong's arm from the bamboo raft to the shore, respectively, and then helped him staggeringly towards the Zhao's tea shop not far away. Pulling Yuan Xudong's arm, brushing his hair, and wiping the sweat on his forehead with his cuff, Zhao Sanniang smiled and said:

"Pan'er, is such a good-looking gentleman even more handsome than your big brother Ouyang?"

"so what?"

Glancing at the handsome young man with a jade-like face, Zhao Pan'er curled her lips and said in disdain:
"It's just a stinky skin. Ouyang has read poetry and books since he was a child, so he won't be as rude as him, a disciple!"

"That is!"

Smiling, looking at Zhao Pan'er who only had Ouyang Xu in her eyes, Sun Sanniang said with a smile:

"Who can compare with Master Jinshi?"

"No way!"

Looking at Sun Sanniang who was teasing her, Zhao Pan'er helped Yuan Xudong walk, and said embarrassedly:

"I don't know if Ouyang Neng will pass the exam this year!"

"I will definitely pass the exam!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was full of worry, Sun Sanniang comforted her and said:

"He failed in the exam before, it was bad luck, since you saved his life, you served him with red skirt and green veil for three whole years, his luck has changed long ago, you Just wait and see, my eyes are not only accurate for pigs, but also for people, your family Ouyang will definitely be a Jinshi this time!"

Looking at Sun Sanniang who was carelessly comforting her, Zhao Pan'er, who had read some books before, laughed and said:

"That's called Hongxiu Tianxiang!"

"Oh, who cares what red sleeves add fragrance, green sleeves add fragrance, the meanings are similar, as long as you can understand it!"

"Too!"

The wind chime rang, Yuan Xudong slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a rather simple bamboo house. At this moment, he was lying on a bed made of bamboo, covered with a rough quilt, Lift the quilt, get up and get out of bed, look outside the bamboo house, the curtains made of bamboo mats, the breeze is coming, and the wind chimes made of bamboo boards are hanging under the eaves to move in the wind, making a crisp and melodious sound, overlooking the distance, the blue waves The rippling lake can't see the end at a glance, and occasionally a few large ships sailed far away, leaving only the shadow of sails in the end.

Yuan Xudong was wearing ancient coarse cloth clothes, the color and style were not aesthetically pleasing at all, it was not comfortable to wear, it was a little itchy, and there was a feeling of air leakage, taking advantage of no one around, he quickly took off his clothes, and then from the dimension In the space, he took a set of cotton clothes close to the body and put them on, and then covered the coarse cloth clothes he was wearing. After changing the clothes, Yuan Xudong moved his limbs, stretched his legs, kicked his feet and so on. Much more comfortable.

Not in a hurry to get out of the bamboo house, Yuan Xudong took out the mirror from the space. When he came, he was still wearing the same black night clothes. Logically speaking, this body should also be his original one. He looked in the mirror , it is still the same as before, just a little younger, and has long hair. This is probably the reasonable identity arranged by the system to "voluntarily" sacrifice the origin of the whole world. Spending so much money to buy a father is to let Are you kidding yourself?

Putting the mirror away, Yuan Xudong walked towards the outside of the bamboo house. This is a tea house built by the lake. Yuan Xudong slept in the side room just now. When he walked out, he was in the lobby that runs the business of the tea house. There are plaques of "fragrance like orchid osmanthus" and "Zhilan spirit" hanging in the hall. There are many log tables and chairs with tea sets in the lobby. The lady who makes tea is heavenly and beautiful. Xu Lai, Duan is a good place to drink tea and relax!
"Master Kuixing, please protect Ouyang from failing this time!"

Yuan Xudong walked out of the side room, just in time to see Zhao Pan'er kowtowing to an ancient painting, so he smiled and said:
"Everyone kowtows, who do you think Master Kuixing should help?"

After ignoring Yuan Xudong and kowtowing devoutly, Zhao Pan'er stood up from the ground, looked at Yuan Xudong and said directly:
"It's good if you wake up. When you were unconscious, I hired a doctor for you, and the clothes you were wearing. It cost a total of two hundred Wen. Give me the money!"

"Two hundred Wen?"

After listening to Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong thought about it. In the Northern Song Dynasty, one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, one tael of silver was equal to one consistent copper coin, and one consistent copper coin was equal to one thousand Wen. Of course, this is an approximate ratio. To be specific, it may vary in different periods. , in different places, even the quality of the currency itself is different, and the exchange rate between each other will be different. Other units of measurement are:
One tael equals 37.30 grams

One stone is equal to 75.96 kilograms
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the price of rice in Kyoto was 700 Wen a stone, that is, 9.22 Wen per kilogram of rice. The same reason, in different periods and in different places, the price of rice will vary greatly. If there is a famine, those big households and Officials from the DPRK and China colluded to hoard and sell rice ten times per kilogram, and the price could be dozens of times higher. Calculated at 9.22 ren per kilogram of rice, 200 ren is 21.69 kilograms of rice, which is very cheap for Yuan Xudong.

He just didn’t know whether it was expensive or not for most of the aborigines. He didn’t have that concept in his mind at all. After all, there were still 2600 million taels of gold in the dimensional space, which didn’t count the scattered property.

In general, Yuan Xudong should be richer than the current emperor if he only has more money than anyone else.Looking at Yuan Xudong with a slightly dazed expression, Zhao Pan'er thought he had no money. When someone changed Yuan Xudong's clothes, he had nothing on him except for the strange night clothes, let alone money. The reason why Zhao Pan'er asked him for money was to make him shut up and be quiet for a while, so as not to keep saying annoying or inexplicable things.

"Is there no money?"

Zhao Pan'er stared at Yuan Xudong with big eyes and said angrily.

"No money!"

Just as there was no excuse to stay by Zhao Paner's side, Yuan Xudong simply followed her words and said:
"But don't worry, I will definitely pay you back, isn't it only two hundred Wen, how about I stay with you and work?"

"Puchi~~"

"Haha~~"

Just as Yuan Xudong finished speaking, before Zhao Paner opened his mouth, Sun Sanniang, who was staying in the nearby tea house, burst out laughing, and said with a loud laugh:
"You are really interesting. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to our family Pan'er?"

"San Niang, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Pan'er said angrily.

Looking at Sun Sanniang who came out from the nearby teahouse with a plate of fruit, a woman with a face like peach blossoms and graceful manners, she looked quite similar to Liu Shitou, big where it should be big, and plump where it should be plump, Yuan Xudong chanted a poem and said with a smile:
"The spring water is as clear as the sky, the painting boat listens to the rain and sleeps, the people around me are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow. Miss Pan'er is that gentle lady. I am naturally a gentleman, can't I?"

"Bah, are you a gentleman too?"

After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er said angrily:

"I think you're almost a disciple. I don't want the money anymore. You should leave now!"

"I won't leave. What I dislike the most is not paying back the favors I owe to others!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was not in a good mood, Yuan Xudong arched his hands solemnly and said:

"Miss Pan'er, you saved my life. I don't thank you for your kindness. If you don't mind, I'd like to stay by your side and be a cow or a horse to repay your life-saving grace. How about that?"

"No, I don't mind, you can go quickly, I am a tea house here, and I don't need any cows or horses!"

Looking at the flamboyant Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er felt more and more troublesome. This person is like a dog's skin plaster, and he can't shake it off even if he wants to shake it off. Looking at Zhao Pan'er who is full of disgust but helpless, and Yuan Xudong who is pretending to repay his favor , Sun Sanniang covered her mouth with a light smile and said:
"Pan'er, why don't we just let him stay in the store to do odd jobs, even carrying water!"

"Sanniang!"

"It's okay, just look at mine!"

First comforting Zhao Pan'er with her eyes, Sun Sanniang coughed twice, then cleared her throat, looked at Yuan Xudong and said softly:
"that whoever?"

"My name is Yuan Xudong, you can call me Yuan Xudong directly, or Xudong!"

"Bah, Dengzizi!"

Turning a blind eye to Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang blushed slightly and said:

"Mr. Yuan Xiaolang, you go outside the yard and hang up the sign that the tea house is open. If it wasn't for saving you and wasting time, Pan'er's tea house would open early in the morning, do you know?"

"I know, I know, I will work hard to repay Miss Pan'er's life-saving grace. When I earn money in the future, I will definitely make up for Miss Pan'er's loss today!"

"Well, you just know it!"

As if quite satisfied with Yuan Xudong's answer, Sun Sanniang nodded and said with a smile:

"Go ahead, hang the sign on the right side of the yard, don't make a mistake!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

With a promise, Yuan Xudong ran outside the tea house. After he left, Zhao Pan'er looked at Sun Sanniang with a smirk on his face, rolled his eyes and said:
"San Niang, what do you want to do?"

"It's okay, I just think he is so stupid, let's tease him and see if he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid!"

"But."

"Oh, it's okay. Look at his skin and tender flesh. He must not suffer much. If you give him more dirty work, he may sneak away by himself!"

"Then what if he doesn't run away?"

"Don't give him wages. You don't get paid for your work. Idiots don't run away. Besides, you are going to Tokyo. If he is really honest and reliable, let him take care of this after you leave. The shop is also good!"

"That's fine, that's it!"

At the door of the tea house, Yuan Xudong was holding a wooden sign that read "Tea to drink" in a dilemma. Which right is the right?Do you stand on the right side looking in from outside the teahouse, or stand on the right side looking out inside the teahouse?

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Xudong hung the wooden sign on the right hand side of the tea house looking in. The sign indicating the business is for the customers who enter the door. The ancient writing habit is also from right to left. , nothing wrong!

After hanging the sign, Yuan Xudong happily ran back to the tea house, got acquainted with Zhao Paner first, then got the night banquet picture in her hand, and sold it to the system in exchange for the origin of the world. Without the origin of the world, Yuan Xudong lived without any sense of security , what if there are bad people who want to harm themselves?
Entering the tea house, Sun Sanniang was talking and laughing with Zhao Paner:

"Pan'er, let's make gestures today to see if your tea or my fruit will be opened first!"

"Okay!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong walk in, Sun Sanniang smiled and said:

"Hang up?"

"Hang it up!"

"That's good, you mop the floor first, and then wipe the tables and chairs!"

Looking at the rather large tea house, with the dozens of tables and forty chairs, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhao Pan'er and said:

"I'm hungry, do you have something to eat?"

"Uh"

Seeing Yuan Xudong who was obviously trying to avoid laziness, Sun Sanniang frowned and said:
"It's not too early or too late, what do you want to eat?"

After glancing at Sun Sanniang, Yuan Xudong turned his attention to her fruit and said:

"Can I eat that fruit?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed fruit he made himself, Sun Sanniang smiled and said:

"Okay, ten cents each, do you want to eat?"

Seeing Sun Sanniang and Zhao Paner looking at him playfully, Yuan Xudong pretended to smile very honestly, then scratched his hair and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Well, can I get credit?"

"Will you eat ten pennies apiece?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong who was a bit silly, Sun Sanniang rolled her eyes and smiled:

"It seems that you are a real fool, go eat quickly, go to work after eating, only eat three!"

"okay!"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who was running to eat Luming Cake, Zhao Pan'er shook his head slightly, wondering whether to laugh or cry:
"I originally thought he was an ignorant apprentice, but now it seems that he may really have some brain problems, and he can't distinguish some basic common sense!"

"Could he be pretending?"

"probably not!"

After thinking about it, Zhao Pan'er shook her head slightly and said:

"I think he looks natural. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with Luming cakes that cost ten cents each. He probably doesn't understand these things!"

"Are you so stupid?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who was eating Luming cakes at a table not far away, Sun Sanniang suddenly opened her eyes slightly and exclaimed:

"Oh, my Luming cake!"

She rushed to the table where Yuan Xudong was sitting, snatched all the Luming cakes she had made, held them in her arms and said angrily:

"I agreed to only eat three, why did you eat so much?"

"No, I only ate three!"

Putting the last piece of Luming Cake into his mouth, Yuan Xudong said confidently:

"You said three Luming cakes, not three pieces. I only opened three lotus leaf bags, right?"

"you"

Glancing at the somewhat embarrassed Zhao Pan'er rather resentfully, Sun Sanniang looked at the somewhat proud Yuan Xudong and gritted her teeth and said:
"Then let's count it as three, a total of [-] Wen, give me the money!"

"Uh"

Looking at Sun Sanniang, who was a little bit annoyed, Yuan Xudong pointed directly at Zhao Pan'er and said:
"You can ask her for it, she is my boss!"

"you"

Seeing Yuan Xudong who was not stupid at all, Sun Sanniang said bitterly:

"Forget it, I'm the fool!"

Gazing at Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang walked towards Zhao Pan'er with her Luming Cake in her arms. At this moment, two guests walked in from outside the tea house and said with a smile:

"Miss Zhao, come make a pot of Xie Yuan tea!"

"okay!"

After giving blessings to the two guests, Zhao Paner went to the next teahouse to make tea. Sun Sanniang walked with her. She looked at Sun Sanniang and said with a smile:

"I won!"

"That is, who dares to compare luck with Mrs. Ouyang, the future Jinshi lady?"

"Oh, how many times have I told you that I can't tell others about him!"

After looking at the guests who were still chatting not far away, Zhao Pan'er looked at Sun Sanniang and whispered:

"Scholars care about this the most, and there are quite a few people in Qiantang who know about me!"

"You don't have to think so much. When he takes you to Tokyo, with Feng Guanxia wearing it like this, and you don't leave the door, who will recognize you?"

"I thought so too, so I bought the land in my hometown. When I go to Tokyo, I will be Mrs. Zhao from Dengzhou!"

"It turns out that the plan has been made well. Who was worried that Ouyang officials would fail the ranking just now?"

"Don't laugh at me!"

"Oh, why am I making fun of you?"

After giving Zhao Pan'er a blank look, Sun Sanniang said with a smile:

"Everyone is a woman, so who doesn't want to marry a good man who can rely on for a lifetime?"

"Yes!"

After listening to Sun Sanniang, Zhao Paner sighed:
"Scholar, farmer, businessman, this merchant is ranked last, and I come from a lowly family background. Fortunately, Ouyang doesn't dislike my background!"

"What's so disgusting about him?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, who has always been concerned about her humble background, Sun Sanniang complained for her:

"If you hadn't paid a lot of money to help Ouyang Guanren buy land and settle down, and spent money to raise him for three years, would he have this opportunity to go to Tokyo to take the imperial examination? What's more, he almost drowned when he fell into the water, or You saved his life, such a great kindness, he deserves to be your cow or horse, and our family Pan'er is still so beautiful, so he was wronged because of his poor background ?”

Looking at Sun Sanniang who complained for her, Zhao Pan'er was quite moved and said:
"San Niang, thank you!"

"No, we are good sisters, why are you being so polite?"

"Well, good sister!"
